Na hao ndo tuliokopi sheria kwao, wenyewe wanasema hivyo!
Yea, but the quote is in reference to "government departments and public authorities" not private individuals.
Further his decision above was overruled when the case went to the UK highest court.
Nonetheless, he insisted in a subsequent case, that "I must confess that whenever an ordinary citizen comes to the Court of Appeal and complains that this or that government department - or this or that local authority - or this or that trade union - is abusing or misusing its power - I always like to hear what he has to say" (emphasis added) - Lord Denning, The Discipline of Law, (1979), p. 144
In upholding the right of locus standi, Lord Denning did not stick to the traditional view of a "person aggrieved".
He evolved the concept of "sufficient interest of an applicant who approaches a court of law"
My question is how can a voter registered to vote and actually voted in Chake Chake, Pemba, can be said to have "sufficient interest" in a Parliamentary election held in Ngara? How can we establish such "sufficient interest"?
